you've got a point there but if this happened in a parking lot, cops would most likely not come bc they consider it a private property!

well u absolutely should have called the cops and went thru insurance..judging from the pic ..

it looks like a dent to me which is not going to be an easy fix in that spot. i would have absolutely went thru insurance and had the dent fixed and the door resprayed and cleared..there is not gonna be a good band aid for this

PDR (Paintless Dint Repair) may be able to repair the dented portion only (if they can get their tools behind the sheet of metal) PDR does not repair scratches or paint chips, only dents. You will have to have a body shop do the repaint/blend over the chip after PDR fixes the dent. Most PDR shops around here charge approximately $25 per dent depending on the size or $100-$125 per panel depending on how many dents. This information is based on hail damage sized dents, which are very common here in Central Texas.
